We introduced our next unit which deals with the real-world applications of percents. This unit is from our Pre-Algebra textbook and will help develop a deeper understanding of percents and their use in daily activities. To help jump start our percent unit that will begin on Wednesday with the formative pre-test, students used Khan Academy to develop their Knowledge Web and practiced the skills linked below:
Today's Learning Intentions: The student will be able to...
- convert decimals to percents and percents to decimals.
- apply problem-solving skills to solving story problems dealing with percents.
For Evening Practice, the student CAN...
- post an answer and an explanation to the problem below to the blog.
- The total area of the state Florida is 58,560 square miles. The total land area of Florida is 54,252 square miles. Estimate what percent of Florida’s total area is water.
In Pre-Algebra today, students were re-introduced to Lesson 9.6: Permutations and Combinations. Due to last week's concert, several students missed this lesson so we reviewed it today. We practiced some permutation and combination problems together and then students collaborated in pairs or pods to begin their homework assignment.
Today's Learning Intentions: The student will be able to...
- state a factorial of a number.
- define a permutation.
- apply permutations to a problem situation.
- define a combination.
- apply knowledge of combinations to problem situations.
For Evening Practice, the student CAN...
- use their new skills to solve problems on Practice B and Problem Solving 9.6 (Handouts)
- read an article about the real-life applications of permutations and combinations.
4308 is the area of water in florida. The way I got that answer is I subtracted 54252 from 58560, and got the answer of 4308.
ReplyDelete~Jordan Anderson
My answer for this problem is 7.35%. I got this answer by subtracting 58560 and 54252 which gave me 4308. I then divided 4308 by 58560 which gave me 0.0735. Finally, I multiplied that by 100 to give me 7.35%

MR.Giomini,
ReplyDeleteThe percent of the area of water in Florida is 7.35%.
Olivia
I subtracted the total land area of florida from the total area of Florida tp find out the total area of water 4308.
ReplyDeleteMaxwell Wittman
You have the correct number, but then you needed to do something with that number to get the percent of Florida that is covered by water.
DeleteMr.Giomini
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is 430.8% because 58,560-54,252 is 4.308 and 4.308 as a pecent is 430.8%.
Riles :)
Riles, Ask your self if 430.8% of Florida can be covered by water.
Deletei turned it into a fraction and had 54252/58560. Then to turn that into a %, I divided 54252/58560 and got .9264344262. In order to convert this decimal to a percent, i moved the decimal two places to the right and got a final answer of 92.64344262%
ReplyDelete-Btags
the answer is 430.8 because you take 58,560-54,252=4,308 times 100 would get you this answer
ReplyDeleteWhen you subtract the two area numbers that does not give you a percent.
Deletethe answer is 430.8 because you take 85,560-54,252=4,308 times 100 gets you this answer
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Giomini,
ReplyDeleteI got an answer of 7.36% of Florida is water. I got this answer because i did 58,560 - 54,252= 4308. Then I did 4308/58560=0.07356. Finally I did 0.07356*100 and got 7.36% if you round the answer.
Thomas
The answer that I got is 7.36%. That means that 7.36% of Florida is water. I got my answer by subtracting 58,560 by 54,252 and getting 4,308. Then I took 4,308 and divided it by 58,560 and got 0.0735. Finally I took 0.0735 and times that by 100 and got 7.356, and then I rounded it to 7.36.
ReplyDeleteI got the answer of 7.35% because 58,560-54,252=4308. then I took the answer of 4308 and divided it by 58,560. 4308/58,560=0.0735. Then iI had to move the decimal over 2 places to the right and got 7.35%
ReplyDelete-Ashley
I believe the answer to this problem is 92.64%, or just 92%. I created the fraction 54252/58560, and I divided the numerator by denominator. I recieved 0.9264, move the decimal two places to the right, add a % sigh, and I got 92.64%
ReplyDelete-Jack Williams
You found out the percent of Florida that is land, but you needed to find our the percent of Florida that is water. You can actually do one more step to get the correct answer.
Deletethe answer for the problem is 13.59% i got that by subtracting the two numbers then you divide that number by the total area of florda and you get 13.59%
ReplyDeletejoey k.
This is too big Joey. Your steps sound correct so maybe there is a subtraction problem.
DeleteHi Mr.Giomini I got the answer 1.o8% of Florida is water. I got this by dividing 58,560 by 54,252 then I divided that by 100 then multiplied it By 100.
ReplyDeleteIan
The percent of water in Flordia is 7.35% I got my answer by taking 54,252 away from 58,560 and got 4,308. I then did 4,308 and divided it by 58,560 and got 0.0735 then I took 0.0735 and multiplied it by 100 to get 7.35, which is the percent of water in Flordia. ~Batgirl(Grace)
ReplyDeleteBatgirl to the rescue with the correct answer to save the day!
Deletei got 8% I got this by subtracting total land by actual land the dividing that actual land.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure whose response this is, but it appears from your explanation that you had the correct idea, but I am not seeing the 8% for an answer.
Deletei got 8% I got this by subtracting total land by actual land the dividing that actual land.
ReplyDelete-Btags
MR.Giomini,
ReplyDeleteI got the answer of 7.35%.
I got this because i subtracted 58560 and 54252. I got 4308. 4308 divided by 58560 is 0.0735. 0.0735 times 100 is 7.35%
Olivia
Thanks for logging back on to give a nice explanation Olivia.
DeleteMr Giomini:
ReplyDeleteI got an answer of 7.40%. First, I subtracted the total area of Florida by the total amount of land which equals 4,308. Then,I divided 4,308 by 58,560 and multiplied it by 100 which equals 7.35% so I rounded it up to 7.40%
Keags
Thanks for the well-written explanation Keags!
DeleteThe total area of water in Florida is 7.35%. I know this because the total amount of area the state of Florida has is 58,560. The total amount of land is 54,252. If you subtract the total amount of area to the total amount of land you get 4,308. To make that a percent you must divide 4,308 by 58,560 you get 0.0735655738. If you multiply that by 100 you get 7.35%.
ReplyDeleteMR. Giomini,
ReplyDeleteThe percent of water in flordia is 7.35% I got my answer by talking 54,252 away from 58,560 and got 0.0735 then i took 0.0735 and mulitiplied it by 100 to get 7.35% percent of water in florida.
~Skufca,Anissa
Mr. Giomini,
ReplyDeleteA good estimate for the water area of Florida would be seven percent. I know so because 585609(the total area)-54252(the total land area)=4308. 4508 divided by 58560 is 0.073. 0.073 as a percent would be 7.3%, if you round it down you get 7%.
Terminator
Mr Giomini,
ReplyDeleteThe answer I got was 7.35%. The way I got this answer is I know that you have to subtract the total number of Flordia's area, and the number of land and i got 4,308. To get a percent you need to divide 4,308 and 58,560 to get 0.0735 then you times that by 100. Then BAM. its an answer of 7.35(;

I calculated an answer of 7.35. I calculated my answer by subtracting 58,560 by 54,252, which equals 4,308. After I subtracted, I then divided 4,308 by 58,560. When I got that answer I multiplied it by 100.
ReplyDelete4,308 miles is the area of water in Florida. 4,310 rounded.

I like the area in water, but we needed to convert that to a percent.
DeleteMr.Giomini,
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is 13.59%.

Mr.Giomini:
ReplyDeleteI got 7 percent of Florida's total area is water. I got this answer by subtracting 58,560 by 54,252 to get 4,000. I divided 4,000 by 54, 252 to get about 7 percent.

The total area of water in Florida is 7.35. I got this answer by subtracting 58,560 and 54,252 and I got 0.0735655737704918 then multiply by 100 and got 7.35%.
ReplyDeleteMy answer is 7.4% of Florida is Water. I received my answer by first doing the total area of Florida- 58,560 and subtracting it by the area of Florida that is land to get the water- 54,252. I got 4,308ft squared is water. Then to get the percentage you take the fraction of 4308/58590 and divide those. You receive an answer of .07365, you multiply by 100 to get the percent of 7.36% rounded, as the almost actual percent rounded

ReplyDeleteParker
My answer was 7.4 . I got this because I rounded 7.35 to the nearest tenths place. First to get my answer I took the total land 58560- the regular land ( not including the water ) 54252 and got 4308. After that I took 4308 divided by 58560 and got the answer of 0.0735•100. Therefore youbwould getbthe answer of 7.35 rounded to the nearest tenth = 7.4% of the land of Florida is water.
